Film set catering in Ramsden, carved to order
Crews in Ramsden work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. We’re frequently asked to cater long days on set and location shoots, serving hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and salads.
For a shoot in a place like Ramsden, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

A hog roast compared with other options
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
